Arctia Shipping Oy
was constituted on 1st January 2010 and seems to
have taken on board the icebreakers which made
up the Finnish ice-breaking service, a number of
ferries and more importantly for us, the
icebreaking ships operated by Fintaship.
Fintaship itself was set up in 2004 as an
offshoot of the Finnish Marine Administration.

The ships which
interest us are the three ice-breaking vessels
which have consistently taken up roles as
construction vessels on non ice-prone areas of
the world. Because of their basic purpose they
are large powerful ships and have a large deck
area available. They are the Nordica, Botnica
and the Fennica.

At the time of the
2014 review it was seen that the Botnica had
been sold to the Port of Tallin on behalf of who
it will be dedicated to icebreaking in the
Baltic.

At the time of the
2015 review there have been no changes to the
company, although one of the ships, the Fennica,
has joined the Shell drilling campaign in
Alaska.
